[Vernon]

West Virginia and Gonzaga will play in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament on Wednesday at 2:30 PM ET. The game will be televised by ESPN.

I hope we hang with them. Will take a perfect game from us and they need to have an off game for us to have a chance.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Huge loss.

 

[skygusty]

If we lose to Gonzaga by less than we lost to Pitt I am claiming a pyrrhic victory.

Maybe they'll eat some bad conch fritters the morning of.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Hitting shots so far.

 

[locustwv]

Not playing terrible so far. Hanging in there.

 

[locustwv]

Very active on defense!! Love it!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

Both teams struggling to hit shots. WVU playing great defense. WVU needs to hit those perimeter shots to open up the middle. Impressed they're holding their own with the obvious height advantage by Gonzaga. Much better showing than sPitt game.

 

[deedoubleyou]

If we could shoot better....

 

[deedoubleyou]

No call wtf....

 

[locustwv]

How is that not a foul!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

Should have been a foul on Nembhard

 

[WVUALLEN]

Impressed we're in it with as poorly as we're shooting.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Zags have made 4 more FGs than us. Zags 13-31 WVU 9-30 Both have 6 3 pointers and 7 made fouls shots. The Biggest difference is in assist to turnovers Zags 10 assist 6 turnovers WVU 5 assist 6 turnovers.

We are going to have to start fast in 2nd half or this could get away from us. Missing wide open 3's is not helping.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Good start to 2nd half.

 

[locustwv]

Not looking good early in the 2nd half

 

[WVU_Dave]

Not looking good early in the 2nd half

Gotta hit more than 30% of field goals to have a prayer....

 

[locustwv]

7-0 RUN!!!

 

[locustwv]

12-0 RUN!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

I'm impressed with this team and it's hustle. Great coaching. Might still lose but Zags will know they were in a fight for their lives.

Totally agree

 

[WVUALLEN]

I take this team over any of WVU teams the last 6 years.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Win or lose this one I'm impressed.

 

[deedoubleyou]

This is so exciting!! Even if we don't pull it off. The future seems bright for sure

 

[WVUALLEN]

Jonathan Powell have a tough game but he is only a freshman playing against the #2 team.

0-6 / 2-2 from FT

 

[locustwv]

We need a basket bad!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

Wearing us down. Gonzaga noticing they can win by going inside. Harris needs to stick to defense and not shoot the ball.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Just like that Harris tells me to shut up I got this.

 

[WVUALLEN]

Should have been a travel on Gonzaga there.

 

[locustwv]

We can do this. Just gotta stay locked in!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

That was the make up call for the missed travel.

 

[WVUALLEN]

We have no answer against their big guys. They took advantage with that here at the end.

 

[locustwv]

This game is crazy!!!

 

[WVUALLEN]

We need this win.

Devries for football coach.

 

[locustwv]

SON OF A BITCH!!! Got ‘em!!!

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Wow! Best win in the last 10 years (at least) of mountaineer sports!

 

[deedoubleyou]

I can't freaking believe that just happened lol. I had a damn work call come in right after overtime started lol. It was hard to focus lol.

[skygusty]

In my mind, I'm storming the court!
